"We are very thankful for Sonlight curriculum that challenges Eli, stretching and maturing him in preparation for college," writes Cory T of Haiti. "The resources Sonlight provides and the emphasis on thinking through information, looking at issues from various perspectives, and communication skills will be very helpful in any college atmosphere. The books hold Eli's interest and motivate learning. And the organized Instructor's Guides help us move effectively through our school days while balancing school and ministry." Here, 14-year-old Eli and 11-year-old Anna take a break from studies to help at a blood pressure screening. In their sixth year of Sonlight, Eli uses Core 300 as Anna studies Core H. 

"Sonlight does a great job of encouraging my children to have a firm foundation in Christ and to seek knowledge and wisdom. The curriculum has helped develop their heart for serving Christ and sharing God's love. We love the missionary stories and the time learning from the Bible together. The history is so full and rich, and what we're learning has helped all of us better understand why people believe and do what they do today. Living books really do help our children understand a time period and develop their own writing skills … no comparison to dry textbook education! I love that their heroes are men and women of faith, not some here-today-gone-tomorrow pop star." In their seventh year of Sonlight, Samantha (10, Level F), Karlie (7, Level B) and Brandon (4, Pre-Kindergarten) read their Bibles at a favorite outdoor spot. – Sarah R of Earlham, IA

With Ethan turning five this year, I knew I needed to figure out what to do about schooling him. God placed it in my heart to home school my kids, but I had no idea where to begin. After spending months on the internet searching for homeschooling curriculum and material, it was clear to me that Sonlight was the best. The faith-based curriculum, the organized and easy to follow instructor guides, the way everything was laid out- amazed me. No one in my family and no one I knew had ever home-schooled their children, but I was so excited and eager to begin. My kids love learning, and are as pleased with Sonlight as my husband and I are. We are studying the kindergarten multisubject package with our five and a half year old son, Ethan, and doing preschool with our three and half year old daughter, Naomi. They love everything- the books, math materials, history, and reading the Bible. Ethan was especially drawn to the maps, asking us to point out where everyone he knew could be located. We were also able to show him Ukraine, the country his father and I were born in, and were presented with great opportunity to explain to him more about our heritage. He was thrilled when we got him a globe, wanting to encourage his interest. My husband and I love how all the material helps our family bond and grow together. We are so thankful for Sonlight and for the opportunity to educate our kids with confidence.
